Also known as GO:0007049, cell-division cycle

progression of biochemical and morphological phases and events that occur in a cell during successive cell replication or nuclear replication events

AI overview

The cell cycle is the series of biochemical and structural changes that a cell goes through as it grows and divides to create new cells. Understanding the cell cycle matters because it's fundamental to how living organisms develop, repair themselves, and maintain their tissues.

The cell cycle, or cell-division cycle, is the sequence of events that take place in a cell and lead to its division into two daughter cells. These events include the growth of the cell, duplication of its DNA (DNA replication) and some of its organelles, and subsequently the partitioning of its cytoplasm, chromosomes and other components into two daughter cells in a process called cell division.
